Pervious genome-wide association studies have identified potential genetic variants involved in the risk and prognosis of COVID-19, but the underlying biological interpretation remains largely unclear. Methods: We applied the summary data-based Mendelian randomization (SMR) method to identify genes that were pleiotropically associated with the risk and various outcomes of COVID-19, including severe respiratory confirmed COVID-19 and hospitalized COVID-19. Results: In blood, we identified 2 probes, ILMN_1765146 and ILMN_1791057 tagging IFNAR2, that showed pleiotropic association with hospitalized COVID-19 (β [SE]=0.42 [0.09], P=4.75×10-06 and β [SE]=-0.48 [0.11], P=6.76×10-06, respectively). Although no other probes were significant after correction for multiple testing in both blood and lung, multiple genes as tagged by the top 5 probes were involved in inflammation or antiviral immunity, and several other tagged genes, such as PON2 and HPS5, were involved in blood coagulation. Conclusions: We identified IFNAR2 and other potential genes that could be involved in the susceptibility or prognosis of COVID-19. These findings provide important leads to a better understanding of the mechanisms of cytokine storm and venous thromboembolism in COVID-19 and potential therapeutic targets for the effective treatment of COVID-19. 2 medRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.09.02.20187179; this version posted September 4, 2020.

Introduction Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), which is caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), has created a large global pandemic and poses a serious threat to public health (1, 2). As of August 7, 2020, there were more than 19.3 million confirmed cases worldwide, with the total deaths exceeding 719,830 (3). SARS-CoV-2 is a highly pathogenic and transmissible coronavirus that primarily spreads through respiratory droplets and close contact (4). Seeking solutions to control the spread of COVID-19 and exploring effective treatments are of utmost importance to address the global challenge posed by COVID- 19. Therefore, there is pressing urgency to further identify the pathological mechanisms underlying COVID-19. Patients with COVID-19 exhibited considerable variation in disease behavior. Recently, genome-wide association studies (GWAS) have been performed to identify genetic variants associated with diagnosis of and prognosis of COVID-19 (5, 6), but biological interpretation of their findings remains largely unclear. Previous research found that approximately 88% of trait-associated genetic variants detected by GWAS resided in non-coding regions of the genome and might have regulatory functions on gene expression (7). In the context of COVID-19 research, it is therefore important to explore genes whose expressions were pleiotropically/potentially causally associated with susceptibility or the development of COVID-19. Different from conventional randomized controlled trials (RCTs), Mendelian randomization (MR), which uses genetic variants as the proxy to randomization (8), is 4 medRxiv preprint doi: https://doi.org/10.1101/2020.09.02.20187179; this version posted September 4, 2020.

MR minimizes confounding and reverse causation that are commonly encountered in traditional association studies (8, 9), and has been successful in identifying gene expression sites or DNA methylation loci that are pleiotropically/potentially causally associated with various phenotypes, such as cardiovascular diseases, BMI, and rheumatoid arthritis (10-13). In this paper, we applied the summary data-based MR (SMR) method integrating summarized GWAS data for COVID-19 and cis- eQTL (expression quantitative trait loci) data to prioritize genes that are pleiotropically/potentially causally associated with the risk and prognosis of COVID-19. Methods Data sources eQTL data In the SMR analysis, cis-eQTL genetic variants were used as the instrumental variables (IVs) for gene expression. We performed SMR analysis for gene expression in blood and lung separately. For blood, we used the CAGE eQTL summarized data (14), which included 2765 participants. For lung, we used the V7 release of the GTEx eQTL summarized data (15), which included 278 participants.

GWAS data for COVID-19 The GWAS summarized data were provided by the COVID-19 host genetics initiative (6) and can be downloaded at https://www.covid19hg.org/results/. Three phenotypes were examined, including severe respiratory confirmed COVID-19, COVID-19 and hospitalized COVID-19. Details on definition of the phenotypes can be found in Table S1. The control groups were subjects from the general population without the specific phenotype, subjects who were COVID-19 negative based on prediction or self-report, or subjects who had COVID-19 without hospitalization, making a total of five comparisons: severe respiratory confirmed COVID-19 (n=536) vs. population (n=329,391; hereafter severe COVID-19); COVID-19 (n=6,696) vs. population (n=1073072; hereafter COVID-19), COVID-19 (n=3,523) vs. COVID-19 negative (n=36,634; hereafter COVID-19 negative); hospitalized COVID-19 (n=3,199) vs. population (n=897,488; hereafter hospitalized COVID-19), and hospitalized COVID- 19 (n=928) vs. COVID-19 without hospitalization (n=2,028; hereafter COVID-19 without hospitalization). In addition, we repeated the SMR analysis for severe respiratory confirmed COVID-19 using GWAS summarized data from the Severe COVID-19 GWAS Group (5) (hereafter severe COVID-19 NEJM). The study included 1,160 patients who had severe respiratory confirmed COVID-19, and 2,205 participants from the general population without COVID-19 as the control (Table 1). The definition of severe respiratory confirmed COVID-19 in this study was different from the one as defined by the COVID-19 host genetics initiative (Table S1).

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated.

ABSTRACT Aim. Helicobacter pylori cytotoxin-associated protein A (CagA) is an important vir- ulence factor known to induce gastric cancer development. However, the cause and the underlying molecular events of CagA induction remain unclear. Here, we applied integrated bioinformatics to identify the key genes involved in the process of CagA- induced gastric epithelial cell inflammation and can ceration to comprehend the potential molecular mechanisms involved. Materials and Methods. AGS cells were transected with pcDNA3.1 and pcDNA3.1::CagA for 24 h. The transfected cells were subjected to transcriptome sequencing to obtain the expressed genes. Differentially expressed genes (DEG) with adjusted P value < 0.05, | logFC |> 2 were screened, and the R package was applied for gene ontology (GO) enrichment and the Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) pathway analysis. The differential gene protein–protein interaction (PPI) network was constructed using the STRING Cytoscape application, which conducted visual analysis to create the key function networks and identify the key genes. Next, the Submitted 20 August 2020 Kaplan–Meier plotter survival analysis tool was employed to analyze the survival of the Accepted 11 March 2021 key genes derived from the PPI network. Further analysis of the key gene expressions Published 15 April 2021 in gastric cancer and normal tissues were performed based on The Cancer Genome Corresponding author Atlas (TCGA) database and RT-qPCR verification.

A Thesis Submitted to the School of Graduate Studies in Partial Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy McMaster University c Copyright by Adam J Bewick, December 2012 DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY (2012) McMaster University (Biology) Hamilton, Ontario TITLE: Sex chromosome and sex determination evolution in African clawed frogs (Xeno- pus and Silurana) AUTHOR: Adam J Bewick, B.Sc. Hons., (Laurentian University), B.Ed. (Laurentian Uni- versity) SUPERVISOR: Dr. Ben J Evans NUMBER OF PAGES: [xi], 142 ii ABSTRACT Sex chromosomes have evolved independently multiple times in plants and animals. Ac- cording to sex chromosome evolution theory, the first step is taken when an autosomal mutation seizes a leading role in the sex determining pathway, such that heterozygotes develop into one sex, and homozygotes into the other. In the second step, sexually antag- onistic mutations are expected to accumulate in the vicinity of this gene, benefiting from linkage disequilibrium. Recombination in the heterogametic sex is suppressed because of mutations that eliminate homology between the sex chromosomes, providing epistatic inter- actions between the sex determining and sexually antagonistic genes. However, suppressed recombination also lowers the efficacy of selection causing accumulation of deleterious mutations. Additionally large segments of non-functional DNA can be deleted in the sex chromosome and can reduce their physical size. Collectively, this leads to divergence be- tween non-recombining portions of each sex chromosome, causing drastic differences at the sequence level and cytologically.

  • Limited Genomic Consequences of Hybridization Between Two African Clawed Frogs, Xenopus Gilliand X. Laevis(Anura: Pipidae)
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Limited genomic consequences of hybridization between two African clawed frogs, Xenopus gilli and X. Received: 13 October 2016 Accepted: 13 March 2017 laevis (Anura: Pipidae) Published: xx xx xxxx Benjamin L. S. Furman1, Caroline M. S. Cauret1, Graham A. Colby1, G. John Measey2 & Ben J. Evans1,2 The Cape platanna, Xenopus gilli, an endangered frog, hybridizes with the African clawed frog, X. laevis, in South Africa. Estimates of the extent of gene low between these species range from pervasive to rare. Eforts have been made in the last 30 years to minimize hybridization between these two species in the west population of X. gilli, but not the east populations. To further explore the impact of hybridization and the eforts to minimize it, we examined molecular variation in one mitochondrial and 13 nuclear genes in genetic samples collected recently (2013) and also over two decades ago (1994). Despite the presence of F1 hybrids, none of the genomic regions we surveyed had evidence of gene low between these species, indicating a lack of extensive introgression. Additionally we found no signiicant efect of sampling time on genetic diversity of populations of each species. Thus, we speculate that F1 hybrids have low itness and are not backcrossing with the parental species to an appreciable degree. Within X. gilli, evidence for gene low was recovered between eastern and western populations, a inding that has implications for conservation management of this species and its threatened habitat. Gene low (introgression) between species may facilitate adaptive evolution through the exchange of beneicial genetic variation.

These conditions were critical to increase the number of mitotic cells scored for each RNAi treatment on a genome-wide scale. - Figure S3: This figure, related to Figure 1, shows the distribution of the number of spindles scored for each RNAi condition as well as the classification of positive RNA is based on a 95% CI for the primary screen. - Figure S4: This figure, related to Figures 2 and 3, shows that multipolar spindles promoted by either Ncd depletion or LatA treatment have an increased numbers of BubR1 foci when compared with control bipolar metaphase spindles. - Figure S5: This Figure, related to Figure 6, shows that depolymerization of astral microtubules (MTs) induces multipolar spindles in MDA-231 cancer cells with supernumerary centrosomes. - Figure S6: This figure, related to Figure 6A and 6B, shows time lapse still images of MDA-231 cells undergoing cell division by DIC.
